Author Convert Documents From WriteNow
glms

I need to convert about a dozen documents from WriteNow to .rtf (or
some other current format). I do not own a Mac. This is a one-time
deal for me, and it would be difficult to find a Mac and buy something
like MacLinkPlus.

Is anyone out there willing to do this for me? I'd be willing to
PayPal you $10 or so for your time...

Please contact me at glms@yahoo.com.

Thanks, Gary

Paste them into an e-mail application and send the e-mail to yourself.
Then paste the e-mail into whatever you are using for a word processor.

Hey - the OP doesn't have a Mac; he only has the files. He needs someone
to help him. Please read the post.

Unfortunately I no longer have WN, and AFAIR the file format is pretty
proprietary. I see from some old WN docs I still have that it's possible
to opne them in a text editor, but you'll need to do a lot of
cleaning-up, I'm afraid. Not to easy if the docs are heavily formatted.

I ussed to have WN and loved it a lot- Used it intensively back in
1988-92 or so. Good app with an extremely small memory and disk
footprint, and wicked fast. Sorry it's gone.

Thanks, but I don't have a Mac, or anything that can open the files in
any decent format.
